Chapter 113 Post-War Trivia
At night, Dispel followed Kira back to Hope Lodge.
"So, why do you want to live in my house?"
"Of course. If you don't take me in, I'll have to sleep on the street. If a rumor spreads in Magnolia tomorrow that 'Fairy Tail's famous Kira-sama is sleeping on the street', it will be troublesome for you, right?"
"No, I don't care about these rumors!"
Kira said as he pushed open the door of the shop.
The first floor of Hope Hut is a store used for business, and the second floor and above is Kira's residence.
"The key is face!" Disper patted his face and said in a clear voice, "If the famous 'Sage' Kira was seen sleeping naked on the street, where would your face be?"
"I get it. You can sleep on the sofa here!" Kira grabbed something nearby and threw it at him angrily. "If you think it's bad for your back and you want to sleep on the floor, I don't mind."
He was fully aware of Kira's big move. He looked around the store's decorations, and without turning his head, he reached out and grabbed the book Kira threw to him. He took it in front of him and looked at it. He raised his eyebrows in surprise: "The Hoplite Conjecture: The Origin of Magic, written by Kira Hoplite. I can't believe that someone like you can write a book?"
"Of course! I'm very talented in magic, just like you are in swordsmanship. It's normal for me to write a few magic books!"
Kira made himself a cup of tea to relieve the alcohol he had been drinking in the guild.
Perhaps because he knew that the person in front of him was another version of himself, Disper surprisingly did not say anything like "Compared to my kendo talent, are you worthy?" Instead, he nodded silently and began to tour the store.
Kira designed the store himself. Although it wasn't very good, he had enough money to cover up any flaws.
As long as you have money, simple is minimalist, shabby is nostalgic, gloomy is quiet, flashy is magnificent, and withered plants can be said to symbolize the cycle of life.
The main entrance is a glass door with a wind chime hanging on it, which is very clean, ensuring that passers-by can see the decoration inside the store at a glance;
Facing the glass door was a counter. Although Dispere didn't know what kind of wood it was made of, he could tell it was expensive. As for why, it was because there were tiny astronomical figures engraved on the bottom of the counter, in a place that was difficult for ordinary people to see.
There was a small piece of grass on the side, with a set of simple tables and chairs on it. There was a sign on the table saying "VIP reception", and Kira was sitting on it and resting comfortably.
Every few meters, there are bright seasonal flowers and colorful magic crystals to decorate the shop. Such a strong visual effect can help this extraordinary shop attract more customers.
Of course, the most noteworthy thing is the rows of magic props. No matter how well decorated a store is, if there are no good things to sell, it is just an empty shell. However, the Hope House is definitely not one of them.
In addition to the crystal clear magic crystals and the dazzling array of rare treasures, there are also many things that look very popular with children and ladies.
Just like a boutique, even if the items are useless, they can be sold at a high price just by their fancy appearance.
Disper looked around and saw one or two piles of toys, three or four rows of books, and five or six columns of merchandise, all related to magic. It was like a grocery... department store.
He had no interest in children's toys, and weapons and potions did not attract his attention. Finally, he headed towards the library area.
I took a quick look and found that, as expected, they were all written by Kira Hopelet.
In addition to the "Origin of Magic" that he has in his hands now, there are also "Self-cultivation of a Wizard", "How to Become a Respected Wizard", "Three Years of Magic and Five Years of Advanced Levels", "Psychology of Magic Battles" and so on.
According to the book category, Disper put the thick book in his hand back, then turned around and took out a book with a cool cover called "Magic Breaks the Sky", the author of which was of course Kira.
After taking a quick look at the introduction, it roughly tells the story of a young man who, under the guidance of a certain big man, becomes a great magician and becomes famous throughout the continent.
"This kind of story is obviously made up, it's too fake, who would read it?"
Disper complained inwardly, scanned two pages with a critical mood, and then... he couldn't stop.
"What are you looking at?"
Noticing that the air suddenly became quiet, Kira thought that Disper was doing something unspeakable with his magic props, but when he walked over, he saw him holding a novel and reading it carefully under the yellow light, just like a student cramming for an exam.
"Oh, I'm reading this book. It's so good!" Disper said excitedly. At this moment, he seemed younger... 10 years younger.
" The lonely wizard genius boy Yan, the guild member Lacus who bullies him, the heroine Lu Xun who has an extraordinary background but stays by his side silently, the girl Serena from the neighboring guild who comes to break off the engagement, and the scarf that contains the soul of the ancient dragon king 'Inir'... This plot and this setting are simply too exciting!"
His eyes were shining as if he had found some treasure.
"You know what you're talking about!" Kira gave a thumbs up. "This book was very popular throughout the Kingdom of Fiore two years ago!"
"I never thought you could write a book like this. It's a waste of your talent to be a wizard!"
Dispel sighed sincerely that although he had traveled to three continents, it was the first time in his life that he had seen such a wonderful novel.
"I've made up my mind!" Disper said, "I won't sleep tonight. I must finish reading it. Woo woo woo..."
Kira blushed: "Whatever you want..."
The next day, when Kira came downstairs, he found Dispel asleep on a chair.
After leaving him a note to 'keep the store for me', Kira set off for the guild.
As expected, the Council came to arrest people. The Crescent Knights of the forcible restraint team took all the members of Fairy Tail to the military base, questioned and interrogated them one by one. After all, declaring a war with Phantom was a violation of the guild covenant and had to be dealt with.
It was a week later when they returned, and the Council's final handling of the matter was the same as in the original work. With the help of Marklov's old friend, Senator Mr. Yajima, Fairy Tail was eventually found not guilty, Phantom Flame was disbanded, and Joseph was stripped of his title of the Ten Saints.
Several trivial things happened during this period. First, Lucy went back home. It is unknown what happened exactly because Kira did not go with her, but she seemed to be more integrated into the group, so Kira guessed that the plot should be no different from the original, and Lucy ran away from home completely.
After that, the team of Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and Erza was formed. They had originally invited Kira, but unfortunately, Kira's family ran a shop , so how could he sacrifice his leisure time for a mere mission reward?
The person who feels the most regretful among them should be Natsu, because if Killer was there, they wouldn’t have to take a car when doing missions in the future!
In order to hand in their share of funds for the reconstruction of the guild, Natsu and his companions had to take on missions desperately. Although most of the rewards were used to compensate for public property, they still managed to make up the difference.
Next, Juvia was brought back to the guild by Mira, and after obtaining Makov's consent, she became a member of Fairy Tail; at her request, Makov took Killer to recruit Gajeel as well.
Finally, Loki's identity as a star spirit was exposed. Although he had Kira's magic props as support, the previous missions had exhausted his remaining strength. After all, he still managed to hold on to this point. This made Kira sigh that love is really great.
Lucy got another coveted golden key, and she only has three more to go .
Compared to her, Kira felt it was a bit of a pity because he didn't meet the Celestial King. He had wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to see how powerful the Celestial King was, but he missed it . When he came back, Natsu and others had already gone on a trip using Rocky's inn invitation coupon.
